COFFEE MAKER CARE

Cleaning the Coffee Maker

1.Remove the brew basket and carafe from the coffee maker.

2.Wash the brew basket and Gold Tone permanent filter in hot, soapy water and rinse with hot water. Do not use abrasive cleansers or scouring pads. These parts can also be washed in the upper rack of a dishwasher.

3.Unplug the coffee maker and wipe the housing with a warm, soapy cloth. Then wipe clean with damp cloth and dry with a soft cloth. Do not use abrasive cleansers or scouring pads.

Cleaning Needed Indicator

Calcium deposits (scale) from water will build up in the coffee maker heat pump over time and impair brewing efficiency and coffee quality. When the coffee maker needs to be cleaned, the “*Clean” indicator will flash after a brewing cycle is complete. Once this occurs, descaling should be done as soon as possible to preserve the performance and life of your coffee maker.

NOTE: You may want to clean your coffee maker prior to the “Cleaning Needed” indicator flashing under heavy use or hard water conditions.

Descaling the Coffee Maker

The coffee maker can be descaled using a packaged descaling agent or vinegar. Always mix the descaling solution using cool water.

■When using a descaling agent, follow the directions on the package for the recommended amounts of descaling agent and water to use.

■When using vinegar, fill the carafe with a solution consisting of ¹⁄₂ vinegar and

¹⁄₂ water.

Clean

1.Before descaling, always remove the water filter (see the “Installing the Water Filter” section) and make sure the brew basket contains no coffee or coffee filters.

2.Run the coffee maker through a complete Clean cycle using a full tank of the descaling solution.

NOTE: If you do not complete the programming steps within 10 seconds, the settings will be maintained and the coffee maker will exit to the default mode.
